About the Journal

The Berkeley Technology Law Journal is a student-run publication of Berkeley Law (Boalt Hall), University of California at Berkeley. We started in March 1985 as the High Technology Law Journal, published our first issue in Spring 1986, and have since covered emerging issues of law in the areas of intellectual property, high-tech and biotech. Effective Volume 11, the journal has been titled the Berkeley Technology Law Journal. BTLJ strives to keep judges, policymakers, practitioners, and the academic community abreast of this dynamic field.

The Journal’s membership, typically over 100 students, publishes four issues of scholarly work each year, including the Annual Review of Law and Technology. The Annual Review is a distinctive issue of the Journal published in collaboration with the Berkeley Center for Law and Technology and is dedicated to student-written case notes and comments discussing the most important recent developments in IP, antitrust, cyberlaw, telecom, biotech and business law. In addition, the Journal co-sponsors an annual symposium on an emerging area of technology law.
